One of the images that caught my eye this week was submitted by Kathleen Nevins Silver of what turned out to be a Piebald Deer posted just below. Piebalds have various patches of white and brown very similar to a pony. While not as rare as albino, this is an uncommon genetic variation that effects less than 1% of the White Tailed Deer population. Nice find!

This week’s cover goes to Claire Reilly with a perfectly composed Osprey.
